Massachusetts Appeals Lawyer

Comprehensive & Informative Legal Counsel

If you are unhappy with the decision of the court regarding your civil
case, you can apply for a legal appeal, in which you advocate for your
reasons behind requesting this change from the initial decision. With
the help of a strongminded and experienced Massachusetts civil appeals
lawyer such as ours at Glenn F. Russell, Jr. & Associates, P.C., you
will have a dedicated guide throughout this undoubtedly complicated legal
process to ensure your appeal has the best possible chance of going through.

Civil appeals are filed with the appellate court, which is a higher court
of law where cases are reviewed. The court decides whether these cases
should be left intact or reversed, though not through findings done with
a new trial. It simply reviews information and evidence from the original
case and settles upon a final decision.

Filing an Appeal

It takes quite a bit to have a decision reversed or changed. The first
factor which must be present is whether or not a legal mistake was made
during the lower court trial. If so, it must be determined whether the
mistake significantly changed the outcome of the final judgement in any
way. If the answer to these questions is yes, the appellate court may
consider reversing the original decision.

Filing an appeal can be quite complex for someone who is not familiar or
well-versed with the inner workings of the law. There are strict deadlines
and specific applications to be submitted, and making even the slightest
error can result in your appeal being thrown out. Extensions may be granted
in certain situations, but there are certain limits and standards in which
the court just won't budge.

There also lies the main obstacle of not knowing whether your appeal stands
a chance in the appellate court. This is why you will need to enlist in
the help of our thorough and results-driven Massachusetts appeals lawyers.
We will inform you whether or not your appeal has a reasonable chance
of survival.

An appeal is quite difficult to obtain, as it is essentially one judge
determining that another judge made a mistake so noteworthy it impacted
the entirety of a case. As you can imagine, these are not given out casually
and you will need our help in order to increase your chances of success
as much as possible.
